01 · OPEN CONTENT

Press OPEN FILE or drop videos / images anywhere in the window — several at once if you like. They line up as slots in the clip at the left edge; click a slot or press its number to switch. Files play straight from your disk — nothing is uploaded or copied.

Tap OPEN FILE and pick videos or images on your phone — several at once if you like. They line up in the clip at the top of the screen. Files play straight from your phone — nothing is uploaded or copied.

From the home screen the player picks the mode by the file: 2:1 goes to 360, a square goes to the dome mode you used last, «srd» in the name goes to SRD. Inside a mode OPEN keeps the current mode.

Formats: MP4 (H.264 / HEVC), WebM, JPG / PNG. ProRes plays in Safari on Mac only.

02 · MODES

FULLDOME 180 — classic planetarium dome, square domemaster. Tilt the dome, change FOV.

SRD 280° — Super Reality Dome, you stand inside a real-scale dome. Pick the dome size; the floor grid shows FRONT / BACK / LEFT / RIGHT.

VIDEO 360 / PHOTO 360 — full sphere, 2:1 equirectangular. A floor grid with FRONT / BACK / LEFT / RIGHT keeps your bearings; Gthe grid button hides it. PITCH tips the whole panorama, for footage shot off the level.

AR DOME — the dome over your camera picture, in your room or outside.

03 · THE CLIP

Every file you open goes into the clip — the row of tiles at the top. In a dome mode the tiles are categories: tap one to see its shows, tap a show to play it. Each slot remembers its own timecode, so you compare versions at the same moment. × removes a slot; the clip stays with you when you change the dome mode.

Every file you open goes into the clip — the column of slots at the left edge. Load ten renders at once, then switch between them with a click, the number keys or ↑ ↓. Each slot remembers its own timecode, so you compare versions at the same moment. × removes a slot; the clip stays with you when you change the dome mode.

04 · GUIDES & RIG

The gray ring is the dome rig — where the picture ends. It stays on screen. The lime edge line, degree ticks and direction labels are guides: they go away with the panel and come back with it: the PANEL button or P with a mouse, any touch on a phone.

G or the grid buttonThe grid button hides rig and guides together — for clean screen recordings.

Look around: drag with the mouse.
